Hands down now my new favorite place, whether it be primitive, vintage, or just general decor. Great visit, great items, and there were even a few more items I liked but restrained myself on lol. I watch alot of prim decor channels and so many of the great shops and shows are in Ohio. The very nice and helpful young lady working there today said her family (the owners) were from there so it makes sense! Can't wait to go back later in fall and for the holidays.

I have always wanted to visit Forever Vintage and Surplus and I finally got the chance when my route took me near on a recent trip through Central Florida. Forever Vintage and Surplus specializes in all kinds of Disney merchandise. They sell clothing, accessories, collectibles, art, home goods, and even furniture from the resorts. There is a main room with collectibles and household goods, a smaller side room with clothing, and a warehouse with furniture and other larger items. If you are a Disney fanatic then this store is a wish your heart makes. They had amazing bags, a sparkling princess tiara, one of a kind collectibles, Christmas ornaments, fabulous Haunted Mansion merchandise, and even an Indiana Jones fedora. Prices ranged from a few dollars to many hundreds of dollars depending on the item. Service was top notch and the store smelled amazing. If you want to bring a little bit of the Disney magic home with you, this is the place to shop.

This store is wonderful for anyone looking for a unique present but beware because you are going to want to gift yourself too!

This store is straight up my alley. There are two rooms plus a back area is filled with gorgeous vintage items. Everything is in mint condition and clearly priced which I really appreciate. This is a consignment shop which means folks leave their items here to be sold. In this type of situation I will sometimes ask if the price can be lowered which usually necessitates a call to the owner of the item but here everything was priced to sell. Some of my favorite items were the strawberry print cups and canisters, vintage floral napkin rings, the little ceramic collection of dogs, and a print of an owl. They had what look like hundreds of records and really pretty jewelry. I loved everything. If I lived closer I would be stalking this store all the time. If you find yourself in Bartow and love vintage you need to stop in. To quote a saying from the 1920's, this store is the bees knees!

Inside the building was like going into my grandfather's old garage where years of salvageable items had been stored in the event some part was needed again for another project. Waste not, want not, right? Stained Market Place carries so many oddball pieces. Things you don't think you need until you see them and then wonder how you did without having it. Pieces that can come together and create a work of art. I took an old and weathered white picket fence and transformed it into two large garden signs that I gave as gifts. The picket fence cost me $5.00. Everything there is reasonably priced. Go there and check it out. You'll be glad you did!
